Is the 35mm AF-S 1.8 the right lens for me?
I purchased a D60 with the kit lens (18-55 f3.5-5.6) soon after the birth of my baby girl. I am finding that I have a very hard time shooting her inside without the flash, even during the day with blinds open. Also, I want to take shots inside and outside where I can get that nice shallow depth of field with the blurry background. So, I am now in the market for a faster lens. I like the price of the 35mm AF-S; and I like that I can auto-focus with it; but is it an appropriate focal length for what I will be doing (shooting my daughter as she grows up? Since I'm a total beginner, I'm not sure how to determine the pros and cons of 35mm prime lens for shooting children.
Thank you!
